Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the impact of trabecular micro bypass stents (iStent Inject) on refractive outcomes with toric intraocular lens (IOL) in glaucomatous eyes.

Methods

We identified glaucomatous eyes receiving a toric IOL between October 2017 and December 2020. Eyes with iStent implantation were included in the study group and eyes undergoing isolated phacoemulsification served as controls. Corrected and uncorrected visual acuity, manifest refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), and number of hypotensive drugs three months after surgery were evaluated.

Results

26 eyes comprised the study group and 41 eyes the control group. Mean postoperative refractive cylinder was 0.26D in the control and 0.11D in the iStent group, with 63% and 85% of eyes with a cylinder of 0 and 85% and 92% of eyes with a cylinder ≤ 0.5D respectively. The mean absolute difference between target and outcome spherical equivalent was 0.26D in the control and 0.22D in the iStent group, with all eyes within 0.75D of target. LogMar uncorrected postoperative vision in eyes targeted for emmetropia was 0.04 in the control and 0.03 in the iStent group. There was a statistically significant reduction in IOP and number of hypotensive drugs in both groups, with a mean decrease in IOP of 8.6% in the control and 15.7% in the iStent group. The number of hypotensive drugs dropped from 1.63 ± 0.80 to 1.34 ± 0.91 in the control group and from 2.12 ± 0.65 to 0.44 ± 0.71 in the iStent group.

Conclusion

Toric IOLs provide predictable refractive outcomes in glaucomatous eyes undergoing combined phacoemulsification with iStent implantation, reducing postoperative spectacle dependence.
